How You Can Help

Telling families we’ve arranged a holiday for them is amazing – a kind of fairy godmother travel agent! But we desperately need your help to continue.

In appreciation

Without your invaluable financial support none of this would be possible. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has already donated. No matter how small your gift, it does make a difference and enables us to help families make precious memories with their loved ones.

Monthly giving

It can cost as little as £1000 to provide a holiday for a family. By giving regularly each month you could help us plan in advance to finance holidays for more needy families.

One-off donations

If you prefer to make a one-off donation you can do so either by cheque, made payable to Matt’s Canaan Trust or online.

A donation of £50 means you become a Friend of Matt’s Canaan Trust and receive our quarterly newsletter along with details of special events.

What will you be remembered for?

Have you thought about leaving money to our cause in your will? Please contact us if you would like to show future generations you care.

Your own fundraising event

Perhaps you could run your own fundraising event or ask your employers to adopt us as their charity.

Some ideas: organise a tea party; sponsored slim; car boot sale; dress down day; bake a cake and sell during office coffee break; bike ride; sporting event; quiz or bingo evening; fashion show; theme evening; furthest balloon; raffle or name the teddy - we’ll help with these two.

Ask about our planned Easter chocolate raffle for 2008.

Buy the book

Infinity and Beyond tells the story of Matthew’s diagnosis and subsequent battle against a rare brain cancer. A whopping £6.50 from every sale is donated to the charity. Buy online or by contacting us direct.

And remember – if you are a UK taxpayer you can Gift Aid your donation and earn us another 28p for every £1 donated – now that’s a gift!
